Thank you for your reply. I would disagree with closing this as "won't fix". Re-requesting the password is a very usefull security measure as it offers a bit more protection to files on other internal drives and on other operating systems. It is better to have the protection there, as there was always the option to allow permanent access if users didn't wish to enter the password every time. > Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:59:11 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Bug 614717] Re: Security risk in mounting hard disks > > Note, bug 455694 was the original request.
